Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2006129212A2] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus (1) for inductively measuring the bio-impedance of a user' s body. Furthermore the invention relates to a bed (2) comprising said apparatus (1). In order to provide a method and apparatus for spatially resolved inductively measuring the bio-impedance of a user' s body without a complex circuitry, an apparatus (1) is suggested for inductively measuring the bio-impedance of a user's body, whereas the apparatus (1) comprises a number of first inductors (4), said first inductors (4) being adapted to induce an alternating magnetic field in the user's body and the apparatus (1) further comprises a number of second inductors (6), said second inductors (6) being adapted to measure a secondary magnetic field in the user's body, characterized in that each of the number of first inductors (4) overlaps at least one of the number of second inductors (6) to form a number of measuring areas (12, 25).
